April's Ramblings

Good morning dear friends . . . time to wake up!!

First of all from last time - no one got the math problem right - including me. I guessed 17, There were two errors that could happen. Mine was I didn't see it go from two root beers to one. The other is multiplication comes before addition - so the answer was 15. If you are interested -

Also last time - the Staying Alive song is a new way to do CPR without having to use the breathing part. You do compression on the chest to the beat of the Bee Gees song Staying Alive - I didn't want y'all to miss that.

Personally I love puzzles and laughter and that is why I like to post - I have so much fun trying to find unusual things.

PUZZLE TIME

Yes there is a car in there.

FROM DISCO'S CORNER OF THE WORLDHe's staying spoiled - yes my daughter gets him a cup of water to drink out of when we watch television!

GRANDSON

GUESS WHO TURNED 17. I started my blog when he was four.

He has kind of grown up here.

Which was kind of why I started my blog.

He just got back from his spring term at school - they went to a place in NC called Snowbirds - they did a service project and played hard. All sorts of zip lines, shooting ranges, bungee jumping, and resting in his Eno.

He is the third person from the left in a red Eno.

EASTER

By the way did you have a nice Easter? Grandson was at his dad's so the three of us went to see the movie Paul - it was awesome . He became one the greatest disciple's of Jesus - and never met Him. The story of Luke was written into this movie - and he never met Jesus either.

Your grandson is 17?!! An exciting age for him but how can that be possible, right? Mine turned 8 last month and I try to never say no to him wanting to spend time here or wanting me to go somewhere with him. I know this won't always be the case so I'm building a foundation of memories for both of us.

I love your puzzles and riddles. I found the car. :) The surgery picture was good too. Ah, memories!

oh I love your posts so much,, and I love that you will dance in heaven and I will have perfect eyesight in heaven, in fact I do have perfect eyesight in my dreams so I just know I will!! I have a 17 yearold grandson too! Happy birthday to the handsome fella! I love disco,I would give him a drink in a cup too lol,, our last dog was the same size as disco but more hair, the crabbiest, meanest little guy, hated kids but loved us,, he was a loyal little pal,, if someone stopped me on the road to talk he always stood in front of me to protect me, he chased other dogs away from me,, he was to become my eyes, I miss him so,,

I found the car quickly!! One of dogs use to drink out of our cups. Skye likes wine and I let her have one lick every once in awhile. 17! Wow he is growing up so fast. Glad you had that fun trip to go to. We did have a nice Easter. I will have to watch that movie. I want to see I Can Only Imagine too but I don't even know the song! I think we will try the movie pass when Mark retires. I agree with Maya Angleou but I would change it to we will forgive what people said and did but never forget how it made us feel. I love the joke.

I did not know that about the falling pressure and the birds flying low. I love the picture of your grandson with disco in his lap just beautiful both of them. And I can't believe he's 17. And yes I do know what the pencils for and I'm really glad we don't do that anymore

Didn’t take me a few minutes to find the car, kind of looks like my VW Bug. Your grandson has certainly grown up and looks like a fine young man that I am sure you are proud of. I get the pencil joke not sure too many kids now a days would...very cute. Oh so what if Disco is spoiled, he looks so cute drinking out of his cup...go for it.

I always love your posts..... I'm one of the 'oldies' who have been with you since you started blogging about your grandson... Can't believe he is 17... Is he a Jr. or Sr. this year? Goodness Mercy.... He is such a handsome young man... Bet the girls are 'after' him!!!!!!!

I found the car. I was first looking for something bigger --but then it popped out at me....

Sandie, how old was Andy when we met Y'all? I seem to remember he was 11? Time goes so fast! I love that you are back on blogger!! I could not find the car but I do know why you need a pencil when you have a "sick" tape! Hahaha!

I must be the only one that couldn't find that car! Now I'm going to have to go back and look again. Your grandson is growing up for sure ! Glad you all had a good Easter. We're to have a warm day here and I'm getting outside while we have it. Our temps will be cooler next week. I enjoyed all the info and smiles this morning ! Didn't know about the birds either. Weather lore is fascinating to me. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Friday !

It is so hard to believe the 'little guy' is now 17!!!!I usually can find the needle in the haystack, but I looked left to right right to left up and down then backed up ans still don't see 'no car!' hahahaha.Great visit. I hope things settle down here a little in the next few days. Hope you are well...(I can't dance, tried square dancing in Cuba, but it didn't work. My sister /Shirl is the dancer, or used to be.

I did not know that about birds. Learn something new! I did know the pencil joke..because I have done it so many times in my life! Have a blessed day! (I cannot believe how fast your grandson has grown up!)

Love the puzzles, I'm such a puzzle girl. I did in fact find the car and it has nothing to do with the big snail shells that look like car wheels. The cute little 'bug' was hidden perfectly! I also didn't know that about birds. I'll have to pay more attention next time.Your grandson is a handsome young man. Ok, so the pencil joke is perfect! of course thats's how we would rewind a cassette tape haha how funny and how things have changed. Sounds like you watched some good movies. I'll have to check them out, thanks for sharing them.Have a good weekend!!!Saimi

What a fabulous post! First thing, your grandson is so handsome. Happy birthday to him. Love the pic of him with Disco. We give our dogs a drink from a cup sometimes. They are so spoiled, aren't they? I found the car in the puzzle. We saw Paul and I Can Only Imagine also. Really good movies. Sandie, I took belly dancing years ago, but I don't think that is the kind I will do in heaven. Lol! And I'm old enough to get the pencil joke.

I just discovered you blog and love it! (I found the car, it's a VW type bug) and totally remember using a pencil to (try to) fix cassette tapes! I'm following you now and look forward to many more great posts like this!

My thought for 2018 is to answer anger with love...
